The final portion of a civil lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Wyoming that was filed by First Interstate Bank against seven former employees has been dismissed. According to court documents, U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Freudenthal dismissed the final portion of the case with prejudice. The final claim that was dismissed was for breach of duty of loyalty against former FIB employees David Hubert, Jay Martinson and Nicole Christensen. A little over a year ago, Judge Freudenthal granted the motions for summary judgment for four of the seven defendants named in the lawsuit and dismissed all claims for relief against John Dick, Kimberlee Newman, Donovan McComb and Myriah Phelps.
FIB filed the civil lawsuit in 2021 after the seven employees announced their intention to end their employment with FIB and work for a competitor, Glacier Bank, which operates under First Bank of Wyoming in Sheridan. The lawsuit filed by FIB alleged that the former employees took confidential bank information before leaving to use in competition with FIB and “have profited and will continue to profit from the misappropriation of FIB’s proprietary and confidential customer information.”
